"Narrator Janina Edwards's compelling tone draws listeners into Wilson's searing narrative as a family reckons with a supernatural legacy...A stark and enduring listen, well told and unforgettable." — AudioFile Magazine, Earphones Award winner

Scant years after the Civil War, a mysterious family confronts the legacy that has pursued them across centuries, out of slavery, and finally to the idyllic peace of the town of Rosetree. The shattering consequences of this confrontation echo backwards and forwards in time, even to the present day.
"There's so much here to appreciate and admire, fine storytelling with a clearly-realized setting and characters."—Locus

      Narrator Janina Edwards's compelling tone draws listeners into Wilson's searing narrative as a family reckons with a supernatural legacy. Chilling events and mythology are interspersed with descriptions of historical events and the editorial commentary of a father reading from his work in progress. As Easter and her family wield old magic against sinister forces, these elements illustrate how the evils of this story persevere into today's world. Immersive world-building heightens skilled characterizations of Easter's loving, courageous family and friends, the fervently whispering Angels, and the slippery, unyielding Devil. Edwards's pacing and precision with Wilson's imagery drive the narrative forward; captivating dialogue urges listeners through the mounting danger. A stark and enduring listen, well told and unforgettable. K.S.B. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine
